Bleeding Love
Marianne's Wish Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Take a walk down by your emptiness
There’s an open door in the silence of your mind … Now let it speak
Can you hear it calling … (You’re) gone too long … Gone to long

While I've been waiting for the new tomorrow
To make the yesterday turn away,
I found a moment to enjoy the sorrow … until it burned away
Burn it away, burn it away x2

You stand the way with nothing to say
Burn it away, burn it away

Chorus:
I've been waiting time is all I have
And it’s just standing there
Dawn is breaking in my empty room
But I'm still bleeding love

With every minute every waking hour
You find another way to seize the day
To see the years that left a taste of sour
A lifetime far away burn it away, burn it away

Bridge:
Headshot …
This is the last time, I’ll recover from this
This is the last fight that you fix and you feel no shame
I got myself to blame woaaaaaaarrrrhhggg

I've been waiting time is all I have
And it’s just standing there

Took a walk down by your emptiness
There’s an open door in the silence of your mind … now I let it speak




I can hear it calling … You’re gone away too long again
And I'm still bleeding love … Headshot

Overall Meaning

The song Bleeding Love by Marianne's Wish, is a poignant expression of love and heartbreak. The lyrics evoke a sense of longing, emptiness and the struggle to move on from a past love. The opening verse invites the listener to take a walk through their emptiness, through the open doors in the silence of their mind. It is a powerful metaphor for confronting one's innermost feelings and desires. The repeated phrase "Burn it away" is a call to action, an encouragement to let go of the past and embrace the present, to burn away the pain and sorrow that lies within.


The chorus repeats the theme of waiting, with the lyrics "I've been waiting time is all I have, and it's just standing there", which hints at a sense of frustration with the passage of time. The bridge seems to be a moment of realization, as the singer acknowledges that this is the last time they will recover from heartbreak, that this is the last fight they will have to endure, and that they have no one to blame but themselves. The song ends with the final verse, where the singer takes another walk through their emptiness, only to hear the call from their past love once again, leaving them still "bleeding love".


Overall, Bleeding Love is a moving song that captures the various stages of heartbreak, from denial and emptiness, to anger and acceptance. The repeated phrase "Burn it away" is a powerful message of self-love and the need to let go of the past in order to move forward.

Take a walk down by your emptiness
Explore your inner void and reflect on your emotions


There’s an open door in the silence of your mind … Now let it speak
Listen to your subconscious mind and let it express itself


Can you hear it calling … (You’re) gone too long … Gone to long

While I've been waiting for the new tomorrow
Looking forward to a better future

I have been patient but time is all I have left


Dawn is breaking in my empty room
A new day is coming but I feel empty inside


But I'm still bleeding love
But my heart still aches for you


With every minute every waking hour
Constantly thinking about the situation


You find another way to seize the day
You move on and enjoy life without me


To see the years that left a taste of sour
To realize that our relationship had a bitter ending


A lifetime far away burn it away, burn it away
Putting the past behind and moving on


Headshot …
Unexpected and sudden pain


This is the last time, I’ll recover from this
A vow to move on without looking back


This is the last fight that you fix and you feel no shame
A realization that you won’t fight for the relationship


I got myself to blame woaaaaaaarrrrhhggg
Admitting that the situation is partly my fault


Took a walk down by your emptiness
I revisited my emotions and inner void


There’s an open door in the silence of your mind … now I let it speak
I am now ready to listen to my subconsciousness and give it a voice


I can hear it calling … You’re gone away too long again
I can hear my emotions telling me that I’ve been ignoring them for too long


And I'm still bleeding love … Headshot
And my heart still hurts despite the sudden realization
